I’d love to share my newly released novel, Live for Me, Nkem, published by Koehler Books on September 9, 2026. The novel follows a Nigerian immigrant wife and mother whose seemingly successful life conceals a profound struggle with depression. It explores marriage, motherhood, mental health, family expectations, cultural pressures, and the immigrant experience, and the things we sometimes fail to see in those closest to us.
⭐ Kirkus Reviews: “GET IT” “A moving story with realistic and well-drawn characters.”
New York Times bestselling author Sandeep Jauhar called it “a rich and moving portrait of the immigrant experience” and said, “I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and highly recommend it.”
